In the outrageous comedy, Wedding Crashers, divorce mediators John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) are business partners and life-long friends who share one truly unique springtime hobby…crashing weddings! Whatever the ethnicity of the wedding party - Jewish, Italian, Irish, Chinese, Hindu - the charismatic and charming duo always have clever back stories for inquisitive guests and inevitably become the hit of every reception, where they strictly adhere to their proven "rules of wedding crashing" to meet and pick up women aroused by the very thought of marriage. At the tail end of another successful season of toasting brides and grooms, Jeremy learns that the daughter of Treasury Secretary William Cleary (Christopher Walken) and his wife Kathleen (Jane Seymour) is getting married in what is sure to be the Washington, D. C. social event of the year. After infiltrating the lavish affair, John and Jeremy quickly set their sights on bridesmaids Claire (Rachel McAdams) and Gloria (Isla Fisher) Cleary. With the lavish reception in full swing, Jeremy works his game plan to perfection in seducing Gloria, but John's flirtatious banter with Claire is unexpectedly impeded by her pompous, Ivy League boyfriend Sack (Bradley Cooper). Having uncharacteristically fallen hard and fast for Claire, John convinces a resistant Jeremy to bend the crashing rules and accept an invitation to an extended weekend party at the Cleary family compound. Once at the palatial waterfront estate, John and Jeremy endure a multitude of comical mishaps at the hands of the hysterically dysfunctional members of the Cleary family, but also learn a few unexpected lessons about love and relationships. Wedding Crashers is a New Line Cinema presentation of a Tapestry Films production directed by David Dobkin (Shanghai Knights). The original screenplay was written by Steve Faber & Bob Fisher. The producers are Tapestry Films partners Peter Abrams, Robert L. Levy and Andrew Panay. The executive producers are Guy Riedel, Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener and Cale Boyter. The creative team includes director of photography Julio Macat, ASC, production designer Barry Robison, costume designer Denise Wingate, composer Rolfe Kent, and editor Mark Livolsi. In addition to Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the talented cast also includes Christopher Walken, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Jane Seymour, Ellen Albertini Dow, Bradley Cooper and Ron Canada. New Line Cinema will release Wedding Crashers nationwide on July 15th, 2005. -- © New Line Cinema [More]

    The performances shine with nuance and wit; McAdams and Fisher in particular show how to prevail over stereotypes. It’s Wilson and Vaughan who carry the day, however.

    Outrageous set-ups and saucy dialogue keep the party going and, while it staggers erratically to its conclusion, Wedding Crashers always has its heart in the right place.

    The laidback stars are funny and sweet, but they're let down by a patchy script which squanders some potentially priceless set-ups.

    If you've ever witnessed high-school students try to whip up SNL-type sketch comedy, everything in Wedding Crashers will have a familiar feel.

    If this had wrapped at 90 minutes, it would have been perfect. Instead, the film is saddled with a romantic comedy that fits it like cement overshoes.

    For every robust zinger uncorked by Wilson or Vaughn, Dobkin chases it with a flat or tasteless gag.

    ... loaded with vile language, despicable behavior by scheming men and features as much topless female nudity as a standard issue movie from the '70s. Go see it!

    If one were to actually crash a wedding, it would probably be more entertaining than watching a movie about wedding crashers.

    The most exhilarating entertainment to emerge this year from the failed, forlorn factory town of Hollywood, largely because of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, the best high-low comedy team since the hey-hey days of Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

    Wedding Crashers is a brash, frequently hilarious film that may be overly long but satisfies our desires for a lot of comedy and a little bit of romance.

    It's been awhile since we've seen quality rapid-fire dialogue like this. (Vince) Vaughn's lively style is the perfect counterpunch to (Owen) Wilson's Southern drawl.
